About Cindy

Cindy Molina is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 19 years of experience. She helps adults who feel stuck after a life change, are figuring out identity, or are weighed down by anxiety, stress, depression, or relationship uncertainty. She offers sessions in English and Spanish and works with people on career concerns and questions about life purpose.

Her practice centers on straightforward conversation and practical tools. Cindy emphasizes listening first and then testing small changes to see what helps. She draws on client-centered and solution-focused approaches to clarify values and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors.

She has spent almost two decades supporting people through major shifts such as divorce, adoption and foster care issues, attachment struggles, chronic illness, and grief. Her background includes work with clients navigating kink and alternative sex cultures, codependency and commitment issues, and blended family dynamics. She also addresses caregiver stress and the challenges of balancing work and relationships.

Cindy aims to be direct and practical in sessions. Conversations typically include identifying small experiments, practicing skills between meetings, and reviewing what changed. She also pays attention to how past trauma and attachment patterns influence current choices and relationships.

People who come to her often want clearer next steps rather than abstract insight. She supports clients in naming priorities, testing new behaviors, and rebuilding routines that fit their everyday life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Cindy blends approaches for remote sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and stepping toward practical changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s perspective and priorities; it involves listening closely and building plans that reflect what matters to the client. Mindfulness Therapy uses attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and support clearer decision making.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to one fixed method.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins on high-pressure days, and reduce travel time. For many people remote sessions help maintain continuity when life is unpredictable, and they let conversations focus on practical steps for change rather than logistical hurdles.
